Won today’s game of twin needle thread chicken!!

When doing alterations on highly stretchy fabric like velvet I always use a twin needle to preserve the elasticity of the hem. The stitch creates 2 parallel straight stitches on top and a zigzag stitch on the bottom which allows the stretch!

I took the Jet quilt to EAA - The Spirit of Aviation and met the super friendly pilots and crew, and even got them to autograph their planes!! This is my first time attending and it is one of the neatest events I have ever experienced. Special shoutout F-22 Raptor Demo Team, F-16 Viper Demo Team, for talking with me, and F-15 Louisiana Bayou crew for giving me a special one-on-one tour of their plane!

No way was I spending $400+ on a purpose built longarm light. Black spray paint and zip ties make my budget light bar not look so budget-y. You can do it cheaper by skipping the bottom lights, but for the price I couldn’t pass it up.

I work hard to make sure I have the best patterns I can make available to customers, so even if you’ve already bought one it doesn’t mean you don’t get to enjoy the best version!

"ily," created and quilted by Amber Pfaff of Onalaska, Wisconsin, entered in the 2025 Quilt Contest, Wall Quilts, Machine Quilted - Pieced category. Design/pattern source: Lover of Life Designs, Etsy.

Artist statement: I love to challenge myself so I took on a simple pattern of a hand signing "I Love You" and turned it into a statement for disabled, q***r, racial and ethnic communities. I hope to inspire the younger generations, showing there is more to quilts than floral patterned squares and triangles.

Getting professional looking seams without industrial manufacturing machines is difficult, but not impossible on your domestic machines. You just need a double needle!

This is the most personal piece I have ever made. I’m 5 months post op from my prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy. Some days are good, and some are really, really tough. There are so many layers to this piece. Quilted into the background are all the nasty words that go through my head, like ugly and gross. On top of those are the nice things people say to me, but they are rough cut and missing pieces because I just don’t feel like they apply to me. My body is based off a photo of myself and is spot on for how I look in real life. It’s had looking in the mirror most days, but I at least accepted that this is what I look like now.
